GUIDE: RIPPING DVD-AUDIO DISCS (DVD-A) TO FLAC IN WINDOWS

Hello Everyone,

Jason (aud19) and I have been discussing to most efficient way to rip
DVD-Audio discs to your computer in the FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec)
format.

This allows you to store DVD-A songs in high resolution on your computer
fully tagged and either listen on your computer speakers or send them
over to your home theater receiver in multi-channel PCM format via HDMI
from one of the newer HDMI supported video cards (like a ATI Radeon 4550
and above). Please note that ATI cards in the 3xxx series can only send
SPDIF over HDMI so you are limited to 2-channel PCM.

If you have a ATI Radeon 4550 or above you will need the Realtek ATI HDMI Audio driver available here: Link to unlock 5.1 and 7.1 multi-channel support

This guide is for Windows XP or above. It will work in Vista x86 and x64 without problem.

Place "flac.exe" to the "bin" folder in the directory put "DVD-Audio Explorer 2008"

Launch "DVDAExplorer.exe" in the "bin" folder.

Select "Open" from the "File" menu.

Browse to the "AUDIO_TS" folder of the the DVD-Audio disc you have inserted.

Select
the first ".IFO" file and press "Open". The tracks should then appear
in a file tree format. You can select various tracks to see what
resolution they are and how many channels.

Use SHIFT and CTRL to select the tracks you would like to rip.

Once selected go to the "File" menu and select "Extract"

Select and output directory.

Check "Convert to Wave"

Check "Merge Groups"

Check "Recover from Stream Errors"

Check "Run Program" and enter: flac -f "%filepath%".

Change
the threshold to 1000MB (you may need to play around with this if you
have slower computer, lower numbers means faster and you cannot have
FLAC encoding 2 tracks at once. If FLAC errors increase the number)

Once they are converted you can use a program like Tag&Rename to
automatically tag and rename your FLAC files so they can be easily
integrated into your music library and also allows them to be scrobbled
with last.fm (example: my profile
) Tag&Rename also downloads album artwork from Amazon.com and
embeds it into each FLAC file for software that supports cover art.
